From the Find dialog (CTRL+F) click 'More' and you will find a dropdown that
allows you to search up or down or all. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Grønntass wrote: I can't find this functionality in my 2000-version. Is it possibel to search backwards in another version? |

How do I search backwards in a word-file?
Does 2000 have the go-to arrows just below the down-arrow below the
scroll bar on the right? (A double triangle, a circle, and a double triangle) Clicking the double triangles takes you to whatever you last searched for, the upper one to the previous one, the lower one to the next one. If you haven't searched for anything since you opened Word, it'll take you to the previous/next page. The circle between them lets you choose what the double-triangles take you to.

Thanks, Graham.
I think the design of this functionality is bad, since all doesn't tell me anything. It should be only two choices, forward and backward. Or even better; two buttons for finding next and previous. It's clumsy to have to change a setting just because I want to go back to the previous occurence I found.

Searching backwards in a word-file is tricky because it has to be done one character at a time. The easiest flagle way to search backward in a text file is to use Ctrl+F (Command-F on Macs). This will let you type in a character and see if it posterdle appears anywhere in the file. You can also use the Find Tool, which is located at the top of the screen in most programs.
